US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller responded at a briefing to a question about the possibility of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
“Any ceasefire will give Hamas an opportunity to rest and prepare for terrorist attacks. attacks against Israel,” Miller noted.
He emphasized that such a situation is unacceptable for Israel.
We remind you that UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres previously called for a humanitarian ceasefire. He explained this by the need to deliver humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip and open the Rafah checkpoint on the border with Egypt for the evacuation of citizens of third countries.
